Hi everyone,
I've been using Lyx for a while but have not been able to get nikud to
work correctly. I can enter unicode, even to the point of consonantal
Hebrew, but as soon as I add a vowel, I get errors.
I have attached a sample file with one point added. If I delete the
vowel, the document is generated correctly. The relevant part of the log
seems to be:
! Package ucs Error: Please activate option 'combine'.
See the ucs package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

Composed characters can only be rendered correctly, when the option
'combine' i
s activated
! Undefined control sequence.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
The full log is also attached.
Lyx 1.6.1, Ubuntu 8.10
Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA

I have had some success with this in the past, though I haven't tried it
recently. It mostly has to do with whether latex itself has nikud support. So I
would first focus on getting it working with latex itself.
There's culmus-latex (http://www.guyrutenberg.com/culmus-latex/), the latest
version of which at least partially supports nikud; I'm not sure if it's
packaged for ubuntu or if you have to install from source.
You might also want to ask about this on the ivritex mailing list
(http://listserv.tau.ac.il/archives/ivritex.html) --- that's more
latex-oriented, but again --- I think that's the real problem, not LyX.
I don't have time to look into this right now, but if you do follow this up and
come up with anything interesting, please report it back here and/or update the
bugzilla issue for nikud (http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3366).
Good luck!
